I’m trying to download some videos from dropbox that the account owner has disabled downloads for. Are there any tools or methods to bypass this and download them anyway other than screen recording?

    I’d start with disabling JavaScript, reload the page, then right click and see if you can save the file.

    Next up would be an M3U downloaded plugin in your browser.

    Last up would be YT-DLP.

      When I disabled javascript I got a pure white page. Can you recommend an M3U downloader plugin for firefox? I’ve never heard of them before. I tried yt-dlp and it said no video formats found

    this is iffy, but you can use the inspector and try to find which of the files is the video you want, then download those manually. Less iffy, use obs-studio and record the videos like how we used to do music in cassettes (in real time).
